Okay! So these are good muffins. Good, not great. They are from the Cupcake Doctor book, so the base ingredient of the muffin is from a cinnamon swirl mix. This is one of the exceptions where the add-ins are disappointing for the time they require. That is my doing, though. The recipe calls for canned sweet potato, but I much prefer to boil and mash the sweet potato. I hate canned foods. I really do wish the add-ins had left more flavor. I’m not even leaving the recipe here because of it–just use the mix. The topping were cute–cinnamon and sugar, chopped pecans, and mini marshmallows. They added a lot for the presentation. Overall, these were good, cute muffins, but just go buy the mix and save yourself some time!
I made these too once, and I agree. I even used a can and it still didn’t give them enough flavor to justify the fact that I’d added anything at all. The maple corn muffins are really good, though. Too sweet for a dinner-style corn muffin, but good for breakfast or for a snack.
I’ve been thinking about making the maple corn muffins soon. They sound like Sean invented them or something. I’m so glad to know they’re good.
